Manganese carbonate ore belongs to weakly magnetic minerals, and its co-associated minerals are mainly non-magnetic minerals, which can be separated from gangue minerals at high magnetic field intensity. However, manganese grade and recovery of magnetic separation concentrate of manganese carbonate ore are low in actual production. Therefore, the influences of manganese carbonate particle size, magnetic field intensity, volume susceptibility, pulse stroke, pH, and other factors were studied. The optimal test conditions for manganese carbonate ore recovery by high-gradient magnetic separation were predicted through the calculation results. The results show that the particle radius of manganese carbonate is 0.020 mm, the pulse impulse time is 200 r/min, and the magnetic field intensity is 0.9 T. The optimum condition test was carried out with Qianbei manganese carbonate ore as the material. The test results show that the optimum conditions are the particle radius of 0.074-0.019 mm, pulse impulse time of 200 r/min, and magnetic field intensity of 1.2 T. The reason for the deviation is that the actual ore has a fine distribution particle size, many associative bodies, complex composition, and serious agglomeration, resulting in variable particle volume susceptibility. The capture yield increases with the increase of magnetic field intensity and volume susceptibility but decreases with the increase of pulse. The lower the surface potential of manganese carbonate, the higher the recovery of manganese carbonate. The grade of manganese concentrate was 19.06% and the recovery was 76.85%. Mixed manganese concentrate with a grade of 18.04% and recovery of 87.14% was obtained by adding drugs and changing the grinding method.

In this paper, the influence of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) in coal slime flotation was studied, and the interaction between SHMP and coal slime flotation particles was revealed through XRD test, contact angle measurement, zeta potential test, scanning electron microscopy analysis, XPS analysis, and DLVO theoretical calculation. The experimental results show that when the dosage of SHMP is 1500 g/t, the recovery rate of clean coal combustibles increases by 9.61 %. SHMP reduces the hydrophobicity of clay minerals (kaolinite) in coal slime flotation and also enhances the dispersibility of coal slime particle. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis showed that SHMP reduced the number of clay particles (kaolinite) on the coal surface, thereby reducing the ash content of the clean coal. In this paper, SHMP is mainly used to modify the surface of kaolinite so as to reduce the hydrophobicity of the mineral, that is, to improve the recovery rate of clean coal combustibles in coal slime flotation.

In gold ore, quartz plays an important role in mineral formation by acting as the follower. Understanding counterion release, transport, and deposition in alkali solution is a prerequisite for evaluating the potential role of gold separate from quartz deposits in pretreatment. In this work, the aggregation, retention, and release of counterion in alkali solution media were investigated by kinetic research and pure mineral experiments, the correlation and mechanism of these processes were revealed by combining geochemical theory, interaction energy calculation, and quantum chemistry. The results showed that the retention and release of counterion were closely related to the dissolution and corrosion rate of quartz. The NH4+ and Fe2+ with higher mineral affinity reduced the quartz stability, and the dispersion stability and mobility of the quartz were greatly improved by an alkaline substance due to the enhancement of steric hindrance effects. Quantum chemical calculation results show that ammonium ion promotes the dissolution of quartz stronger than ferrous ion, which is mainly reflected in reducing the activation energy required for the formation of transition state (TS1), which can be verified by kinetic calculation. These findings provide essential insight into the extraction of gold coated by quartz as well as a vital reference for the experiment of gold-loaded quartz leaching in mineral processing.

The ratio of the hydrophobic to hydrophilic species and their distribution on mineral surfaces significantly influences the floatability of sulfide minerals. Through the flotation test, the influence of different reagents on pyrite flotation was examined. The interaction mechanisms between copper xanthate and pyrite were evaluated using advanced analysis technologies, including contact angle measurements, zeta potential analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that the butyl xanthate in solution reacts with copper sulfate to form cupric xanthate, increasing the consumption of the collector butyl xanthate and resulting in lower floatability of pyrite. Cupric xanthate can be adsorbed on the pyrite surface through bonding with the sulfur sites. The adsorbed cupric xanthate on the pyrite surface undergoes redox reaction. The cupric xanthate is reduced to cuprous xanthate, and the sulfur on the surface will be oxidized. The adsorption products on the pyrite surface contain both cuprous xanthate and cupric xanthate. As the pH of a solution increases, the absolute value of the zeta potential of pyrite surface increased and the surface contact angle increased. Iron xanthate is also formed on the pyrite surface through a chemical reaction between the xanthate ions and pyrite, oxidation of xanthate ions to dixanthogen also takes place. Cuprous xanthate is the main hydrophobic substance on the pyrite surface, which can change the surface electrical properties and wettability of pyrite, and improve hydrophobicity of pyrite.
